how the power will pass to our homes and all other fields from the power stations? and the role played by the transfomers?

Of course the connecting wires are Used to pass the power or current to our homes etc. but before that, the current undergoes transformation. Generally the electricity generated in power stations has high values of voltage. So, it is needed to be transformed into standard voltage i.e. 230 V (In India)
to do this, a step down transformer is used.

That's the role of transformer!!

When electrical energy travels long distances in wires, some of the energy is lost. This happens to electricity during the journey from a power plant to your home. Less energy is lost if the voltage is very high, so electrical utilities use high voltage in long-distance transmission wires. However, this high voltage is too dangerous for home use. Electrical utilities use transformers to change the voltage of electricity as it travels from the power plant to you. First, the voltage of electricity coming from the power plant is "stepped up" using transformers to the right level for long-distance transmission. Later, the voltage is stepped down before it enters your home - once again using transformers.
i hope m clear...😀😀
